They want to implement live streaming of games. Think its a "really cool" idea.
Pre-owned games can be sold.
Hints that they wanted always-online to be 24/7 in order for the Cloud computing to enhance games through e.g. extra enemy A.I and increase the field of vision in games. Cloud seems to be huge for them
Acknowledges Sony has faster RAM but can't do comparison as he doesn't know the full capability of their hardware/OS, but believes XB1 games will look just as good if not better
Acknowledges around 3GB of RAM reserved for OS
Xbox Live fundamentals will remain the same
Nothing concrete in terms of creating a backlog for 360 games to be made compatible on XB1, but if it does happen, the popular 360 games will be there first
Plan to make family households with multiple consoles/accounts have access to more content in response to whether they will be discounts for family Gold members
Nothing to confirm yet on what cable companies will be compatible with XB1's TV/DVR functionality. Probably still negotiating.
No headset included with console. Megaton. Kinect will be default device acting as microphone
Why are they avoiding the main thing, GAMING? I don't care about that other bullshyt

oh boy, if yall would actually watch the entire thing. and if you had an xbox or find the behind the scenes videos from GT TV or whatever its called.(a lot of exact info from that guy). you would realize the reason they are not exclusively talking about games. because its not E3. this was a quick hitter. they wanted to show you all the other stuff it could do. you already know it can play games. did you really need to hear "it can play games"? NO. you will see that at E3.
3GB for Os alone windows all over again. And that's without the dvr(sold separately ) eating memory.
Meanwhile @ PS Quad headquarters
If they could do what they did with so little, imagine the future
Sony quickness fukked up Microsoft real good. An architectural system rethink was just not possible, because they're too boneheaded to NOT release it too late after the PS4 and saw how good the Quad is gonna be.
Microsoft now says fukk the indies...
This is incredible how MS went full retard.
I'm not sure what people expected out of Microsoft? They have been nickle and diming people since the launch of the 360...this is just a continuation of Microsoft focusing on way too much bullshyt at once. They are selling you guys a "console" which is essentially just a closed PC...microsofts wet dream since the 90's in where they control EVERYTHING.
15 new IP's? We will see what the fukk those games actually are because Microsoft has a shytty 1st party history and their best exclusives are "timed" or "console" exclusive.
I am a little shocked with the blu ray drive, but pretty much saw everything else coming. As I've been telling you cats for years already...if you are a GAMER you get a combo of PlayStation/PC and win. The other consoles? Get those later IMO once they have a worthy library.
Its mind boggling to me that Microsoft has not learned anything from Apple. A small focus is what works best. The XBOX is pretty much a souped up Roku that can play games on the side...that is what the press conference felt like. As far as Xbox fanboys mad? Why? This is the kind of shyt Microsoft has been force feeding down your neck for a whole generation and improved on the formula...whats the problem now? Not "Jumping In" with the new enhanced "experience"? You guys look like the fools now.
Speak with your wallets and don't accept a gaming system with gaming as a secondary focus. You all fukked up a whole Gen, don't do it again...you've been warned
I have no problems with them waiting to reveal the games. But I want to know how they have improved the gaming experience, the graphics etc. I don't give a fukk about Skype, Watching TV and so on. Presentation was garbage
That sessler look like a faq with aids
